I am a 32 yr old single mom of 3 boys. I started out at 211 and would like to get to 150. I am a recovering addict and gained all my weight after getting sober then also having a full hysterectomy at 30. Just recently I had my gallbladder out so it seems one thing after another and my body is probably going wacko!! I have been sober 10 years so it should have adjusted by now. I was so food deprived that I believe I went from one addiction to a food addiction. I am here to have morale support and to be around people who are in it for the same reason! Good luck to everyone and see ya when we're skinny!

UPDATE: 02/03/2011 I am now down 41 lbs and I am feeling good. I have struggled here and there but I know when enuf is enuf on cheating. I am really going to try to start exercising now. I have went down quite a few sizes. I went from wearing a size 20 jeans to a 14, a size 2x shirt to a XL in most brands. I still have a way to go but I am getting there.
